MikaI think this #Linus/#LTT video makes it very clear this thing I've always thought about #Linux - Linux has been for a while now, extremely ready for Developers and Tinkerers. Ready doesn't mean trouble-free, nope, but usable AND pleasant to use (a big productivity boost even in my case) - but will encounter issues that these groups of people will be able to solve, or, work around them with relative ease.
For normies though, nah, it's def not ready to varying extents depending on who you are. This doesn't mean that they couldn't use Linux, cos it is indeed still usable and pleasant to use for ~90% of use cases - but they will most def encounter issues they absolutely would not be able to solve on their own, and we know how not a small number of people in the Linux user community are useless or even harmful and shouldn't be relied on for help (for these normies).
For normies that still wish to use Linux, they def can but it's def highly recommended for them to only do so if they have someone (IRL) they can rely on for help - like any friends or fam members who are already using Linux, no different than when you're growing up and using #Windows/#macOS for the first time. Also, thanks to #Microsoft, the incentive to ditch Windows for something like Linux has been steadily growing and may even make the learning pains of using/experimenting with Linux more acceptable and worth it, compared to staying on a sinking ship that is Windows.
These people however may also opt for macOS, tho I think the biggest blocker for #Apple from gaining market share in this space is the fact that their OS is locked to their hardware, and their hardware - as amazing as they are, are incredibly locked down and not upgradable/serviceable. Anyway, someday we may see the day where Linux is ~99-100% ready for normies, but today is def not the day. Videos like LTT's and maybe others too are good sources on why that is the case, to us who may already be too familiar with Linux to 'have the eyes' to see these issues. It's also why I started documenting my Linux Wiki in the first place, when I migrated away from Windows - as a reminder on the issues I stumble upon, and how I solved them.
